Short family break

A fantastic couple of nights here. Excellent communication with the owner who allowed us to check in earlier. Lovely location with nice views out from the back across the fields. All the main beaches and attractions within striking distance. Definitely recommend the Bushmills railway up to the Giants' Causeway National Trust Centre. We'll definitely be back to this area to explore some more!

COTTAGE NEAR PORTRUSH

Excellent location near Bushmills and Giants Causeway. Beautiful short drive to Portrus. Straight down the street there is a harbor nearby as well as Runkberry Beach which is a fantastic spot for a walk, jog, or just viewing. Great trails thru town all the way to Causeway. Cottage was perfect with full access to internet and all streaming channels such as netflix, amazon, etc. Only wish the washer/dryer were full size.

Great location for the Antrim Coast

Should really be 4 1/2 stars. We stayed here 3 nights at the end of 3 weeks of traveling. It is a quiet building in a peaceful setting close to the sights and the town of Bushmills. Tony was accessible and quickly took care of a couple of minor issues, and we appreciated the opportunity to check in early. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Our only complaint was with the cleanliness of the kitchen. The sink, counter tops, refrigerator, and stove area all needed to be cleaned well. Several pots, pans and utensils needed to be scrubbed before using. Dish towels need to be sorted through and updated. Hopefully, these things will be addressed because over-all this really is a great place to stay. I wished we would have had one more day here, and we would recommend it despite the kitchen issues .

A clean and bright cottage in a great location

A very beautiful and spacious cottage in a great location - 10min drive from Giants Causeway. However, the perfect stay was hindered by the lack of kitchen condiments and toiletries. Overall a great stay!

Great home for exploring the Antrim Coast.

We were two couples. We really enjoyed the comfort of this home. It is a perfect location for exploring the Antrim Coast. We hiked it for 16km. The Giants Causeway and The Dark Hedges and the Bushmill's distillery are all nearby. I can highly recommend this house

Family visit 29 - 31 August 2009

We would thoroughly recommend this house. My husband and I were looking for somewhere to stay for just two nights so we could visit the Antrim coast, arriving by public transport from Belfast. With three pretty large sons aged 15, 17 and 19 we were looking for a reasonable amounrt of space, and the ability to cook for ourselves. It looked from the on-line search as though this property might fit the bill, but I was apprehensive about trying to book for the short period. The owner could not have been more helpful. The rate offered was very reasonable, the booking process simplicity itself. We had expected to find the house had what we needed, but it was so much more than that. It was absolutely delightful. There was plenty of room, and the layout of the house worked extremely well for us. It is beautifully furnished, and decorated, and is a home, not just a holiday rental. The three bedrooms - two double and one with bunks are quite small, but the living area is very large and well laid out. Everything was clean and fresh and welcoming. The public transport bit also worked extremely well - using the Translink web site, and integrated tickets. The area is brilliant for cycling too - although the bikes we hired from Bushmills were rather too heavy and heavy wheeled for comfort (we are experienced cyclists, but with touring bikes, not mountain ones...). The shop in Bushmills - just fifteen minutes or so walk away - was well stocked, and had extended opening hours even on a Sunday. The little shop at the north-eastern end of Port Ballintrae had less on its shelves - and the chocolate was not the youngest, but the ice creams were superb. We spent one day cycling to Carrick-a-rede and the Causeway. The second day we walked to the distillery in Bushmills, and then took bus and train to Castlerock and visited Hezlett House and Downshill, before the late train back to Belfast. That made a very fulfilling couple of days. With more time, warmer weather and with younger children, I would have explored the sand dunes and Port Stewart, and taken the steam railway.

Portbalintrae

A beautiful property. Everything that you would need was here. Fantastic location for lots of trips. Patrick was a brilliant host. My only point would be that the stairs are very steep which was an issue for my elderly father.

Our first time visiting n.ireland , owner was very informative . Ideal location for seeing the area .
